Assistant Secretary Muldrow has de-.
cided that under the acts granting to ter
~ritorics lands for school purposes, where
land at the date of the survey Is occupied
by actual settlers, his right to the land
is superior to the right of the territory,
and thai where the school lands at the
date of the survey are occupied by an
actual settler, the territory is entitled to
select equivalent lands in lieu thereof as
indemnity, and having made such selec-
tons, the indemnify land so selected is
held in reservation in lieu of the school
section, upon which such settlement was
made. and the school section, by the act
of such selection, is excluded from settle
ment, and therefore an entry ola school
section made while the selection OF
equivalent land remained intact, was
valid.

The Ohio state republican convention
held last week, sounded the key note of
the republican presidential campaign.
Sectional and race questions are to be
thrust into the campaign and the bloody
shirt is to be waived with all the old-time
vigor. The northern people will be
asked to array themselves against the
south with all the luminosity at their
command. This policy was disclosed
by the battle. flag incident, and the pro-
gramme will be carried out by the re.
publicans to the letter. This will COM
pei the south to remain politically solid,
and be the cause of many disguised
northern republicans, anxious to see the
dead issues RELOCATED to the shades of
the past, to denounce the damnable
spirit which actuates and incites their
leaders to prey upon the prejudices of
the people. The republicans in Ohio
have nominated the following ticket,
and endorsed John Sherman for Presi-
dent: Governor, J. b. Foraker; lieu
tenant.governor, Capt. W. G. Lyon ;
supreme judge (ong term W. T. speer;
supreme judge, (short term) +. J. Dick
man; state auditor, E. W. Poe; state
treasurer, j. C. Brown; attorney-gener-
al, d. X. Watson; member of board of
public works, c. A. Flyckinger.

The Uncertainty OF Mining

The possibilities ofmining ventures in
the West, as well as some of the disap.
pointments, have an illustration in the
story that ex-Gov. Hauser, of Montana,
tells of his former partner, A. ]. Davis,
now conducting an Independent banking
house in Butte City. At n time he
loaned $1,000 to a miner of Butte. The
interest was rolling up at the rate OF
three per cent a month and the total in
debtness had reached $500 when the
miner agreed to turn over the property
to Davis in full payment of the debt
Davis accepted the proposition and offer
ed Hauser n half interest for 81 $50.
Hauser was in the banking business

HELENA vs.. BOHEMIAN.

The Helena Independent, in its issue
of last Tuesday, contains an ably written
editorial, in which it is stated that the
first announcement of an extra session of
the legislature had occasioned consider
able opposition among the newspapers
hut that the opposition, on sober second
thought, had given way to an almost
general endorsement. In this view we
believe that the Independent is mistak-
en-. We are of the opinion that the
newspapers generally are still antagonis-
tic to the special session schemes; but
have concluded that it is useless to furth-
er protest. In the same article, the In
dependent deplores the existence of I'M
grounded jealously which seems to pre-
vail in the territory against Helena, and
ran see no just reason for such feeling.
The CHRONICLE also sincerely regrets
that one section of the territory should
seem to be arrayed against another, and
while it can only speak for Bozeman, it
hastens to say that there is n feeling of
antagonism becoming prevalent here;
not from jealousy, however, but from a
belief that Helena is doing all it can to
retard the growth of communities not
tributary to Last Chance Gulch. AL
though the region around Bozemar is a
vast bed of fine coal, such as Helena, n
great and growing city requires, yet its
citizens sank $50 900 in a scheme to OBJ
tain coal where the miners would pay
tribute to Helena, rather than procure
an article of established merit from the
Bozeman district. At the present writ
ing, the leading coal consumers in Hell
ena are waiting until the Manitoba rail,
road is Quilt to Helena, so that they car
try the Sand Coulee coal, which none
have seen, and yet are confident that i
is an article superior to that OF Bozemar
simply because it comes from a dIfTeren
point. We might mention many othe,
instances which, tc our minds, exhibi
downright selishness, ifnot hoggishness
of Helena. W. see this selfshness dis.

The investigation of the accounts of
the disbursing officers of the treasury,
which begun last week. is still going on,
and perhaps will be finished by the first
of next week. The different assistant
treasurers of the United States have
been instructed to show the state of
such accounts at the close of business,
July 18th, 1887, and it is evident that if
there is any crookedness, 1t will be
speedily and mercilessly uncovered. 1t
is believed by many that the treasury
offers a finer and larger field for fraud
and forgery than any other department,
on account of its vast and varied finan-
cial transactions, and recent develop
ments tend to prove the opinion correct.
